User Reviews

Felix was once a WWII camp show performer

Oscar is going to host some TV specials with Richard Dawson. Felix reveals he once did a musical comedy act with Dawson while they were in the army.

A good show with Dawson saying the act was so bad that General Patton came back stage one night and slapped both of them! Felix goes on the TV show for the funniest scene. He sings an overly dramatic version of Laugh Clown Laugh. Oscar and Dawson hold up Applause and Bravo signs for the audience and Felix thinks he is a hit.
